Re: What does it mean to be a conservative?

Liberals are ever changing, while Conservatives embrace book, chapter, and verse. Liberals love a more complex view which goes off the charts. This is on most issues, Conservatives are right, while Liberals are wrong. Today's Liberal can never be tomorrow's Conservative because that would require maturity. Conservatives don't want to be liberals because the Bible says to put childishness away. In secular terms, liberals tend to be poorer and therefore more averse to risk, whereas conservatives tend to be wealthier like Donald Trump.

Wow so many rude responses...how does one decide, lol? Maybe I'll just hold my peace and let you all have your fun this time, it doesn't sound like any of you were looking for an intelligent, objective response anyway.

I did not, no. But my answer was based on what I learned in college from a history professor, so I doubt it would change my answer.

Oh, and we all know that college professors are where we should get undeniable truths from.
